Identifying procedural structure in Cobol programs
1999
Software engineering notes
Preserved Fulltext
In this paper, we show how a Cobol program can be efficiently transformed into a semantically-equivalent procedurally well-structured representation, in which conventional procedures (i.e., with the usual ...
The principal control-flow abstraction mechanism in the Cobol language is the PERFORM statement. ...
Our Approach Given a Cobol program, numerous procedurally well-structured representations are possible, via a variety of analyses. ...

The Java is pure object-oriented, where as the COBOL is procedure oriented programming language. The legacy systems designed earlier needs the huge amount of maintenance. ...
Most of the legacy systems designed using COBOL, as it is a programming language. On the other hand, today Java widely used programming language for designing systems. ...
The procedure begins with identifying candidate classes by analyzing global data structures and function formal limits in a single source code file. ...

This paper examines the use of object wrappers and introduces two other types of wrappers, the procedural wrapper and the combination wrapper, for practical use with COBOL legacy applications. ...
However, object wrappers do not always solve the interoperability problem for COBOL legacy applications. ...
To write the subclasses, or child programs: 1. Identify all the different data structures that exist in the legacy program. Each data structure defines a subclass. ...

In my opinion, its benefits are illusory. A potential gain is that the last-in-first-out discipline forces programs to be well- structured. ...

It has also been biased, where possible, towards the inclusion of features demonstrating the basic principles of COBOL and of clear and well structured programs. ...
This Mini-COBOL specification, however, does not aim at providing an efficient object program, but rather at providing a tool for teaching a basic understanding of the main principles of COBOL. ...

Unlike earlier stan- dards and many implementations, both COBOL 74 and COBOL 83 require a CALL statement to use a literal or identifier to define the name of the called program. ...
The term “export” in this con- text means a positive action which makes otherwise invisible identifiers visible to another program. Exportation is thus selective. ...

Migrating COBOL legacy systems to Java results in functional equivalent systems expressed in the new language, while the programming paradigm remains that of the old systems. ...
This paper presents an integrated toolchain enabling metricsbased comparisons of original and translated systems to substantiate or refute this hypothesis, characterize the change in code quality, and ...
Tools can map a COBOL program to a functional equivalent Java program, but usually cannot introduce an object-oriented design into a program conceived procedural (cf. Terekhov and Verhoef [7] ). ...
